Theeradha Villayatu Pillai, is produced by Sun Pictures and stars Vishal as a love dude. The movie stars Vishal, Neetu Chandra, Tanushree Dutta, Sarah Jane Dias, Santhanam, Prakash Raj, Sathyan, Mouli,Mayilsami and is directed by Thiru. Yuvan Shankar Raja has scored the music for this film and doesnot impress much.
Vishal is back doing comedy flicks after a spate of action film bombed at the box office. Comedy seems to be the flavor of the season and Vishal is out trying to woo audiences and the lovely girls beside him, with his witty one-liners.
The Story: Karthik, played by Vishal, is an extremely out spoken and casual character who has his way the ladies. Trouble brews when he starts having too much of them. Prakash Raj plays the father character and as usual pulls it off with panache. His loud voice and commanding presence is a little too familiar. Maybe it’s because the role is all too familiar for Tamil Audiences. The lovely ladies in the movie, play nice fillers and except Neetu Chandra, very few catch your attention. The lady has to use weight loss products to lose her excess flabby muscles.They seem to be ephemeral; appearing and disappearing in a flash. Karthik gets into trouble with the girl’s parents and not the girls themselves. They seem to be fine with his philandering. The drama boils down when common-sense prevails among all, including Vishal, and ends with the – “All is fair in love and war” theme. This one is all too familiar for Tamil audiences, for others, read the next post. This one ain’t for you.
A special word about Santhanam. What we are seeing is the fast evolution of a lead comedian. After Vadivel and Vivek it is nice to see Santhanam come out and take mainstream cinema by storm. His genre is different from Vadivel and Vivek, and resembles the comedy king Koundamani. He has done a neat job and does make you laugh whole heartedly. Good job. Keep giving us more.
